Ever wondered what really sets Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) apart from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? Join Dr Gavin Nimon ( Orthopaedic Surgeon and host) as he explores this complex topic with expert gastroenterologist, Professor Jane Andrews. You'll gain a deep understanding of the crucial differences between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, including their unique pathological features and symptomatic presentations. Discover why it's essential to distinguish IBD from other conditions like gastroenteritis, and how these insights can lead to better patient care and management.
Professor Andrews takes us through the fascinating genetic and pathological nuances of IBD, offering a detailed look at the characteristic non-caseating granulomas of Crohn's disease and the chronic inflammation of ulcerative colitis. We’ll discuss diagnostic tools, the importance of comprehensive clinical evaluation, and the latest advancements in treatment, including the role of biologics, JAK inhibitors, and the ever-evolving field of gut microbiome research. Gain valuable knowledge about the demographic trends in IBD, the impact of diet and lifestyle, and the promising future of patient care.
Finally, listen in as we explore the real-world implications of monitoring and treating IBD, from the significance of regular surveillance to the multidisciplinary approach required for managing severe cases. Professor Andrews shares insights on the collaborative efforts between gastroenterologists and colorectal surgeons, and the critical balance needed in using immunosuppressants. We also touch upon related conditions like IBS and gluten intolerance, offering practical advice for patients dealing with these often-misunderstood issues.
